[Stella]

Cheers.

Had Chelsea(or another English team outside of the top four) won the Champions League AND Liverpool had won the Europa League, then fourth place would have missed out. There is max five spots for a country.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If Liverpool win the UEL and finish in UEL places then we have 5 teams in the CL and 2 in the UEL

If Liverpool win the UEL and finish outside the UEL places then we have 5 teams in the CL and 3 in the UEL

[hampo17]

Team news is in.

Liverpool:  Mignolet, Clyne, Toure, Lovren, Moreno, Can, Milner, Lallana, Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge.

Sevilla: Soria; Mariano, Rami, Carrico, Escudero; Krychowiak, N'Zonzi; Coke, Banega, Vitolo; Gameiro.

Strange sevilla line up

[Fernando]

Liverpool fans in the sevilla end seemingly. Gunna be fights soon id expect

[hampo17]

Sevilla returned over 1000 tickets so UEFA gave them to Liverpool, nothing underhand.

[hampo17]

Refs have had a shocker there for me, Milner gets undercut while jumping for a header, then gets kicked in the leg causing him to lose balance and gets penalised

[hampo17]

Get in! Great finish that.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

And all the fighting is completely above board too?

[hampo17]

You get idiots at every game, let's remember the West Ham fans who decided to throw objects at a bus only last week. UEFA offered these tickets, but did nothing to separate the fans...downright stupidity.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Seem to be saying this was the right thing to do and not blaming fans. Seem to be making excuses.

[hampo17]

Pretty sure I called it downright stupidity Chris, either offer the tickets and make sure fans are kept separate or don't offer them at all. If you think I'm saying it's the right thing the you're reading something completely different to what I'm posting.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Or the fans could just you know not fight

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I see you've typed words there, but you are really justifying their actions and making excuses. That's the obvious picture

[hampo17]

Again, downright stupidity Olly...that covers them all.

[hampo17]

I see you've typed words there, but you are really justifying their actions and making excuses. That's the obvious picture

I've not excused the fans for anything, and sheer stupidity covers the lot of them. Don't let that cloud your judgement though.

Is this a serious post, or are you on the wind-up?

Liverpool 1-1 Sevilla - Gameiro

17 seconds.

The 2nd half has started guys it would be nice if you recognize the whistle...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

That was horrific defending all round

[Guest]

Kolo what a tackle

[hampo17]

Poor defending, good play to get past Moreno though. Ahh, so annoying after a good first half in which we should have had at least one penalty.

Ahh well, start again.

[hampo17]

Think we're still in the dressing room here.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Lovren there ffs

[Fernando]

Liverpool 1-2 Sevilla - Coke

I want Unai Emery in the PL quality gaffer. Got rejected for the Watford job & Sunderland

[Fernando]

Origi on Firmino off, Why not Lallana?

[hampo17]

Think he's offered slightly more than Firmino, not by much though.

[Fernando]

Liverpool 1-3 Sevilla - Coke

No idea what happened there everyone unhappy though.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Never offside referee gets it spot on

[Fernando]

Good decision by referee/lino. Wasn't offside hit a liverpool player.

Origi booked for an elbow. Sevilla going down like flies to waste time as all spanish sides do.

[hampo17]

Ref has been dreadful, how is that a yellow card? Jesus, European refs are Poopie.

[Fernando]

His arm was so high he might aswell of been playing basketball.

Fair yellow im afraid.

[hampo17]

Wasn't an elbow, eyes on the ball and when you judge other things that have been let go in this game, not a yellow.

As I said, refs been Poopie.

[Fernando]

Rami off (booked walking slowly) Kolo something or other on.

Only crap when they it doesn't suit you. It's a yellow every time in European football.

[hampo17]

Just because the Europeans don't like contact doesn't make it a good decision nando, that isn't as yellow as long as you've got a hole in your arse my friend.

[Fernando]

This isn't the premier league Paul. The is a european competition refs are stricter with things like that. It's a yellow every day of the week outside the PL

[hampo17]

Not a foul...(I will keep saying it, Chris will eventually say I'm excusing his actions)

Anyway, Sevilla have been superb this half. Complete turn around from them, that goal just seems to have drained Liverpool.

[Lowlandbrit]

Have to say, there is something a little ironic about Liverpool forgetting to show up for the second half of a European final.

[TRUSSMAN66]

Might be worth a bet on Liverpool for the premiership next year....

Less games than the other top teams....couple of good signings in the sumber.....They have a quality manager...

Might turn out to be a blessing for Liverpool. .

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

You'll struggle to see a poorer second half performance than what the Liverpool defence have put in here - shambles would be kind

[Fernando]

FT Liverpool 1-3 Sevilla

3 years in a row for Sevilla.

I assume Coutinho was injured today haven't seen him all night (genuine question)

[hampo17]

Doubtful, just didn't turn up.

[Fernando]

Jesus f**king christ if he was on the pitch. Pundits blaming Moreno for 2nd half maybe trying turning up instead.

[hampo17]

Wasn't the only one sadly. Sturridge did nothing besides the goal, Lallana, Firmino, Countinho, Can, Milner, Moreno, all poor. Toure was probably our best player over 90 minutes.

[Hero]

That's always it for me with Coutinho, everyone remembers the 1 game he plays well in, just then forgets the 4-5 he's bordering nonexistent in.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Toure the only one to come out with any credit really

Rest were poor to shocking

Liverpool need a serious summer clean out

[GSC]

That's always it for me with Coutinho, everyone remembers the 1 game he plays well in, just then forgets the 4-5 he's bordering nonexistent in.

Agree with this

Liverpool bottled it in the 2nd half. Sevilla took them apart

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

It's why he plays for Liverpool and not one of the top sides

[pedro]

Well, at least 7th place should be within reach..

[Hero]

Nicked it from Paddy Power but made me laugh:

Pete Doherty’s relationship with Kate Moss.
Tulisa’s X Factor career.
Danniella Westbrook’s nose.

And now Liverpool…

All destroyed by Coke.
